Round Two

We are having another baby! Which most of you know by now but I figured that since I'm feeling way better these days I would start keeping you updated on the ol' Tiny Miracle blog. My first trimester was rough... I felt nauseous all of the time and was so exhausted I couldn't get off the couch some days. When I was pregnant with Lyra I thought I knew what tired was, when I had a new born I thought "now I know what tired is".... but let me tell you i didn't!! I have never been so tired as the last few months, I felt as if I could sleep for a month and not feel completely rested. 

Now that that is over... whew! I am just over 4 months along and feeling really quite good. I've been taking prenatal yoga and walking and eating fabulously. Life is good. Lyra and Brian are happy and healthy, and my belly bump is growing every day. 

I had my first pregnancy dream last night, it was a girl. But I don't put too much weight on that since I dreamed that Lyra was a boy, a girl and a kitten. We are planning to find out this time around though, in about 3 weeks we will hopefully know if it's a boy or a girl! That's pretty exciting.

 I've been feeling the little baby move for a a week or so, it happened much sooner this time around, I guess I know what I'm feeling for, those little tiny rolls and thuds.  

We are planning to have a home birth this time, I don't want to have to get in the car, period. I want to be home, comfortable and safe. We found a wonderful home birth midwife named Collette. We have heard nothing but wonderful things about her and Lyra took to her instantly, which is a wonderful sign. I am still pondering having a doula, and wish Lisa lived closer so she could be ours. 

We haven't been as good about taking belly growth photos as we were last time, but we are going to start being better about it. This little one deserves the same amount of attention. I attached a video montage that we made for JoEllen after Lyra was born, I meant to share it here about 19 months ago.. oops.  Also a picture of my current bump.
